I got my tetanus shot we can play polearms again

Imagine dredging the depths of your soul and your imagination to bring very specific characters into being, to illuminate and explore the fundamental and irresolvable tension between wanting to be a discrete self-possessed individual and the fact that we only come into being through our relationships with others. Between being whole and entire in ourselves and the fact that everyone we ever come into contact with leaves an indelible mark on us. Independence and interdependence, with neither ever fully able to overcome the other.

The fact that love binds and chains us, and yet we take that on willingly. The idea that good love frees others from our expectations and wants, but our love for others involves giving of--even just the resources of our time and our attention. The inherent contradiction and conflict in wanting to free someone to be themselves only for them to step closer and say, "No, I want you." The relief and the guilt of it--the sense that you are robbing someone else of their potential happiness elsewhere, but are also ecstatic that they decided to be around you. The casualties of devotion.

And the raw, difficult truth that sometimes we are so deeply entangled with the people who have hurt us, that we love and hate and want and want to get away from in equal measure, and it's not an approval--it's just a grappling or sitting with the truth of that.

and a bunch of people online who are obsessed with mashing particular characters together like dolls look at your work and go "That relationship is codependent :("

Transphobes make being trans sound so cool. Like trans men sound like they are possessed by the devil? That sounds AWSOME .
